Abstract excerpt
The functional template for the transcription and replication of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is genomic RNA encapsidated by nucleocapsid (N) protein. Previous studies showed that the amino acid R7 in the N-terminal arm of N is involved in N-N interaction in the N-RNA complex. In our study, the recombinant virus with mutation of R7A (rVSV(R7A)) in N was recovered, and the replication level of passage 1 (P1)...
